TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine research and application, and specifically relates to a traditional Chinese medicine classical prescription system based on multi-omics integrated analysis of extracellular vesicles. BACKGROUND
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine classical prescriptions are an important part of the inheritance and development of traditional Chinese medicine, with a long history and rich clinical experience. Classical prescriptions, also known as classical formulas, are prescriptions that are recorded in ancient classical works of traditional Chinese medicine and have been tested by long-term clinical practice, with significant efficacy and wide application. These classical prescriptions play an important role in the theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine, and are characterized by rigorous prescription, simple medicinal ingredients, and definite efficacy, i.e., "universal, simple, inexpensive, and effective", which embodies the essence of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation and treatment. The use of classical prescriptions indeed has its unique advantages. If accurate differentiation is made and appropriate classical prescriptions are selected, rapid effects can often be achieved in the treatment process. The comprehensive results of the multi-component and multi-target effects of classical prescription drugs are closely related to the holistic concept of traditional Chinese medicine treatment and the principle of individualized treatment. The development of modern scientific and technological methods provides new means and methods for the study of classical prescriptions, especially through high-throughput omics technology and systems biology methods, which can more deeply explore the pharmacodynamic mechanisms and action pathways of classical prescriptions.
[0003] Extracellular vesicles (EVs) show important application prospects in the study of various diseases. Due to their stability and widespread presence in biological fluids, EVs have become important diagnostic and therapeutic biomarker carriers in liquid biopsy. For example, exosomes have been widely studied in cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and infectious diseases, and by analyzing their molecular composition, disease mechanisms have been revealed and new diagnostic and therapeutic targets have been discovered. Microvesicles show important roles in cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, and by carrying specific proteins and RNA molecules, they participate in cell-cell communication and pathological processes. In addition, apoptotic bodies have unique applications in the study of immune regulation and cell death, and by displaying apoptotic antigens, they promote immune responses and have potential immunomodulatory effects. By analyzing the molecular composition of EVs, the mechanisms of disease occurrence and development can be revealed, and new diagnostic and therapeutic targets can be provided.
[0004] The application of multi-omics technology provides new ideas and means for the study of traditional Chinese medicine, and through genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics technologies, the chemical components and biological activities of traditional Chinese medicines can be comprehensively analyzed, and their mechanisms of action at the molecular level can be revealed.
